family fabulousness | Peoria, IL Family Photographer

Did I make that word up? Oh well, maybe I did. It fits though. This family was just that…fabulous! They were brand new clients to me. I’m having a lot of those lately and loving it. Can’t wait to work with my regulars though also :) We decided to do an urban session and a more natural setting. Both worked so well. They had 3 of the best kids I’ve ever worked with. So sweet. The boys had gorgeous red hair (love) and all three had freckles (double love). The kids were just posing away, setting up all kinds of shots for me…lots of ideas…it was so cute. Big sister is a gymnast and that was super fun! She was flipping and flying and leaping all over the place. We were blessed with lovely weather and perfect light as well. And to top all of that off, I got a hug from big sister when we were done :) Couldn’t have been a better night. Thanks for being so patient with me, while I got your sneak peek up. I hope to get another one up tomorrow from my beautiful newborn session on Sunday. I’m loving being back in the swing of things. I love my job :)

Thanks,

A :)

    Oh my. Amanda, do you pay these people to pose for you? They are sooo gorgeous. The eyes. I’m haunted by those eyes . . . . Sigh.
